Chương 45: Chapter 45
It was a bit of a boring time for a few days, they were mostly going out for a hunt, and a chance to find more things for him to capture. One notable change was that the rat he had captured had changed into a few, not just by itself, it started to cause fights between others. Mostly with rabbits and squirrels, the smaller creatures usually just running as soon as a fight initiates.
The next important note was a the first death happened. It wasn't a violent one, just a natural death that caused him to feel a release. His body had felt a sudden jolt of power that went through both his bones and the world. It caused him to feel a bit of a burn like something was ignited in his body. The burn was unpleasant at first, but after the burn passed through, there was a chill, bone deep, that felt like very breeze was penetrating him.
The change of energy in his body let something into him. His body had once again grown, letting him know that it was something that was forcing him to get further along the path to 'adulthood' in a way. He hadn't really thought on the fact that none of the girls were actually following at a slower rate, it seemed his size increase actually increased theirs.
His body had started to release the energy that he had produced beforehand. It was starting to be pressing out into an almost tangible mist, flowing into the stone around them, it seemed to be pressing down and compacting the stones, making the plants starting to flow into plants. It starts to make the foliage experience a rabid growth.
It also caused some of the animals in the area reacting a bit stronger. The animals were a bit of a difference between both predators moving in, and prey creatures coming into the area.
It also made others move in. Syren was starting to get a little bit paranoid, looking out the cave front, searching for any and all signs of something happening. She might have even noticed the grass growing, not that it wouldn't have been noticeable, having gotten up towards looking like they were saplings.
Azure and Lapis had noticed the grass was high enough for them to disappear, it almost felt like the pair had turned into lionesses, ready to pounce out on anything that comes through. He decided to check out the camp, having enjoyed the company, but still starting to get worried like his mother. Projecting himself out, the wolf moves back towards where he had remembered the campsite.
The camp had changed, having a small palisade wall of treated logs, nothing to block a determined predator, but enough to set up a linear defense. In some of the sites where tents had previously been set up, foundations, or in a rare few, full storefronts, had appeared. Nothing fancy, in a way, just well treated planks, sanded to a fine smoothness, or at least appeared to be. The wolf had no real idea, but could appreciate the workmanship.
There is a mixed group of men wandering the streets, looking to be performing the duties of a watch, without the heavy handed ness of a new town. The kind of duty that would allow people with the strong ego, or a inferiority complex would try to abuse. Now, the little wolf didn't really know if that could be all, but what he had observed, there wasn't a strong sense of corruption. It could have just been that the town was to new.
What truly surprised him, was his mother soon appeared by his side, joining in his observations of the town. Safe in the knowledge that most of the people inside wouldn't be able to see them, and even more certain about the fact they wouldn't bring about harm. They took to looking through all of the shops first.
The first seemed to be catering towards making the people more comfortable, restaurants, taverns and an enclosed bathhouse. It proved that there was both men and women, even though the wolf hadn't really noticed.
It was interesting to have the real chance to look into the woman's room without anyone noticing. It was a bit of a strange feeling, looking on the female form, he could appreciate the curves, but currently, he wasn't close to it. Though he did notice that when he went through the men's side, he was not interested. Definitely made certain that nothing had really changed. His mother huffing a little as if amused, just took a quick look.
The next stop along their route seemed to be a central square, his mother taking her time to flow through the humans. Each time, noticeably they were a little chilly. Some taking a moment to rub their arms and stare at some of the blue robed men.
It was amusing to watch a wolf at least to most men's ribs, he almost wished to see them getting knocked over by her large size. It truly gave an idea on how large he might expect to grow. While he was amused by her actions, the center of the square was perfect to people watch, only a few men moving through there.
What he didn't notice was that his mother had been 'stealing' information. Her method allowing her to steal tidbits with every pass. It was like a scrapbooker collecting pieces of newspaper on one topic. She had started to be able to paint a picture of what would be happening.
She wasn't sharing for a moment, taking her time to find out all the best information. Syren seemed to be happiest when she found a good source. It seemed like she started to jump through them like a little kid through a sprinkler.
